Celebrate Manatee Moe’s Birthday and Manatee
Awareness Month at ManateeFest, November 11, 2023!
The Manatee Center is delighted to announce the upcoming celebration of their beloved Manatee Mascot, Moe's 27th Birthday on Saturday, November 11, 2023 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. As we commemorate this special occasion, we also embrace the significance of November as Manatee Awareness Month. This event serves as an opportunity to raise awareness and promote the protection of the cherished manatees and their habitat.
Since its establishment 27 years ago on October 26, 1996, the Manatee Center has been a prominent tourist attraction, nestled along the scenic Indian River Lagoon and Moore's Creek in downtown Fort Pierce. The venue has tirelessly worked to educate the community about the importance of responsible actions to safeguard the beloved manatee and ensure the preservation of the Indian River Lagoon, which remains the most diverse estuary in all of North America.
ManateeFest will be a fun day for the whole family to connect with remarkable organizations that partner with the Manatee Center to ensure the well-being of the manatees and their habitat, along with exciting activities, games, face painting, demonstrations, and, of course, delicious birthday cake.
Mark your calendars and join us for ManateeFest on November 11, 2023, at the Manatee Center, located at 480 N. Indian River Drive, downtown Fort Pierce.
